  • The siege of Stepanakert started in late 1991, during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, in Stepanakert, the largest city in Nagorno-Karabakh, when the Azerbaijani forces circled the city. Until May 1992, the city and its Armenian population were the target of a months-long campaign of bombardment by Azerbaijan. The bombardment of Stepanakert and adjacent Armenian towns and villages, which took place under the conditions of total blockade by Azerbaijan, caused widespread destruction and many civilian deaths. Human Rights Watch reported that the main bases used by Azerbaijani Armed Forces for the bombardment of Stepanakert included the towns of Khojaly and Shusha. Azerbaijani forces used weapons such as the BM-21 Grad multiple-launch rocket systems. The indiscriminate shelling, sniper shooting and aerial attacks killed or maimed hundreds of civilians and destroyed homes, hospitals and other buildings that were not legitimate military targets, and generally terrorized the civilian population. As a result of the offensive launched by Azerbaijan on Nagorno-Karabakh, more than 40,000 people became refugees and dozens of villages were burnt and ruined. According to Memorial Human Rights Center, the residential areas of both Stepanakert and Shusha were shelled on a regular basis with the use of artillery and rocket launchers. There were more destruction and casualties in Stepanakert than in Shusha, which could be explained by location of Stepanakert in the lowland and much higher intensity of shelling from Shusha due to Azerbaijan's capture of Soviet depots in Aghdam and other locales with more than 11,000 wagons full of rockets, including those for BM-21 MLRS. The siege of the city stopped only after the capture of Shusha by Armenian forces on May 8–9, 1992. (en)
  • L'assedio di Stepanakert iniziò alla fine del 1991, durante la prima guerra del Nagorno-Karabakh, a Stepanakert, la più grande città del Nagorno Karabakh, quando le forze azere assediarono la città. Fino al maggio 1992, la città e la sua popolazione armena furono l'obiettivo di una campagna di bombardamenti durata mesi da parte dell'Azerbaigian. Il bombardamento di Stepanakert e delle città e dei villaggi armeni adiacenti, avvenuto in condizioni di blocco totale da parte dell'Azerbaigian, causò distruzioni estese e molte vittime civili. Human Rights Watch riferì che le principali basi utilizzate dalle forze armate azere per il bombardamento di Stepanakert includevano le città di Khojaly e Shusha. Le forze azere utilizzarono armi come i sistemi missilistici a lancio multiplo BM-21 Grad. I bombardamenti indiscriminati, gli spari dei cecchini e gli attacchi aerei uccisero o mutilarono centinaia di civili e distrussero case, ospedali e altri edifici che non erano obiettivi militari legittimi e che generalmente terrorizzarono la popolazione civile. A seguito dell'offensiva lanciata dall'Azerbaigian sul Nagorno Karabakh, più di 40.000 persone divennero rifugiati e decine di villaggi furono bruciati e distrutti. Secondo il Memorial Human Rights Center, le aree residenziali di Stepanakert e Shusha furono regolarmente bombardate con l'uso di artiglieria e lanciarazzi. Ci furono maggiori distruzioni e vittime a Stepanakert rispetto a Shusha, il che potrebbe essere spiegato dalla posizione in pianura di Stepanakert e dall'intensità molto più alta dei bombardamenti da Shusha a causa della cattura da parte dell'Azerbaigian dei depositi sovietici ad Aghdam e in altri luoghi con più di 11.000 carri pieni di razzi, compresi quelli per BM-21 MLRS. L'assedio della città si fermò solo dopo la conquista di Shusha da parte delle forze armene l'8-9 maggio 1992. (it)
  • Блокада и обстрелы Степанакерта (арм. Ստեփանակերտի ռմբակոծումը) — многомесячная кампания бомбардировок гражданских объектов города Степанакерт, столицы непризнанной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики, с осени 1991 г. до весны 1992 г., в ходе Карабахской войны.Обстрел Степанакерта и соседних городов и сёл проходил в условиях полной блокады со стороны Азербайджана, вызывая масштабные разрушения и многочисленные жертвы среди гражданского населения. По данным правозащитной организации Human Rights Watch, главной базой азербайджанских вооруженных сил с целью бомбардировок Степанакерта служили города Ходжалы и Шуша. Против гражданского населения азербайджанские силы применяли запрещенные[чем?] установки залпового огня БМ-21 «Град». В результате неизбирательных обстрелов, снайперских выстрелов и воздушных налетов были убиты и покалечены сотни мирных жителей, разрушены дома, больницы и другие здания. Операция была нацелена на устрашение и вытеснение армянского населения. В результате наступления Азербайджана более 40 000 человек стали беженцами, десятки сел были сожжены и разрушены. По данным ПЦ «Мемориал», жилые районы Степанакерта регулярно обстреливались с применением артиллерии и ракетных установок. Широкомасштабные разрушения и жертвы были следствием расположения Степанакерта в низине. Существенную роль сыграло также то обстоятельство, что азербайджанским силам до этого удалось захватить советские склады с оружием в Агдаме и в других городах, с более чем 11 000 вагонов ракет, предназначенных для БМ-21 РСЗО и других видов оружия. Беспорядочные обстрелы жилых кварталов прекратились лишь после успешного подавления азербайджанских аванпостов армянскими подразделениями в городе Шуша 8—9 мая 1992 г. (ru)
  • 斯捷潘納克特圍城戰是1991年11月至1992年5月(納戈爾諾-卡拉巴赫戰爭期間)亞塞拜然軍隊包圍納戈爾諾-卡拉巴赫地區首府斯捷潘納克特、切斷納卡地區與亞美尼亞本土的聯繫的戰役,斯捷潘納克特居民以亞美尼亞人為主(人口約55000人),被包圍後水電、糧食與醫藥均告短缺,亞美尼亞方僅能以直升機支援補給該城,該城與周圍城鎮均受到亞塞拜然方數月的轟炸與砲擊,造成民宅、醫院等大量非軍事目標損毀與169名平民陣亡。 人權觀察報導指亞塞拜然軍隊以鄰近的舒沙和霍賈雷為基地,使用BM-21火箭炮等武器對斯捷潘納克特進行轟炸。戰爭期間斯捷潘納克特與舒沙的平民區均受到頻繁轟炸,但前者因位處低地,以及亞塞拜然取得蘇聯部署於阿格達姆等地的上萬枚火箭砲等原因,受到的破壞與死傷人數都多於舒沙。美國國會發表聲明譴責亞塞拜然方對納卡地區的封鎖,通過法律禁止美國政府資助亞塞拜然,人權組織派遣調查小組進入斯捷潘納克特紀錄平民區受到無差別攻擊的情形。1992年5月初亞美尼亞軍隊,斯捷潘納克特圍城戰至此告終。 (zh)
